Molecular and agro-morphological evaluations of interspecific hybridisation in two wild yams (Dioscorea spp.) for genetic improvement
Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is an essential food crop particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. As breeders struggle to meet the rising demand for high-yielding and quality yam, hybridising underutilised wild species presents a promising solution. This study therefore investigated the potentials of hybridising t...
